Electric Strike Description
Electric shock. Contacting electric lines will cause death

or serious injury. Know location of lines and stay away.
When working near electric cables, remember the following:
• Electricity follows all paths to ground, not just path of least resistance.
• Pipes, hoses, and cables will conduct electricity back to all equipment.
• Low voltage current can injure or kill. Many work-related electrocutions result from contact with less
than 440 volts.
Most electric strikes are not noticeable, but indications of a strike include:
• power outage
• smoke
• explosion
• popping noises
• arcing electricity
If any of these occur, or if strike alarm sounds or flashes, assume an electric strike has occurred.
If an Electric Line is Damaged

If you suspect an electric line has been damaged and you are on drilling unit or bonded equipment, DO
NOT MOVE. Remain on drilling machine and take the following actions. The order and degree of action will
depend on the situation.
• Warn people nearby that an electric strike has occurred.

• Have someone contact electric company.
• Reverse drilling direction and try to break contact. Do not touch drill pipe with hands or hand-held
tools.
• Press electric strike system self test button.
• If alarm sounds again, stay where you are and wait for electric company to shut off power.
• If alarm does not sound and there is no other indication of a strike, wait at least one full minute
before moving away from equipment. Utility might use automatic reclosers which will restart
current flow. If alarm sounds again while waiting, stay where you are until electric company shuts
off power.
• If alarm does not sound but all lights in strike indicator are on, assume strike is continuing and stay
where you are until electric company shuts off power.
• Do not resume drilling or allow anyone into area until given permission by electric company.
If you suspect an electric line has been damaged and you are off drilling unit or bonded equipment, DO
NOT TOUCH ANY EQUIPMENT connected to drilling unit. Take the following actions. The order and
degree of action will depend on the situation.
• Stay where you are unless you are wearing electric insulating boots. If you leave, do not return to area
or allow anyone into area until given permission by electric company.
If a Gas Line is Damaged
Fire or explosion possible. Fumes could ignite and cause

burns. No smoking, no flame, no spark. 275-419 (2P)
Explosion possible. Serious injury or equipment damage could occur.

Follow directions carefully.
If you suspect a gas line has been damaged, take the following actions. The orders and degree of action
will depend on the situation.
• Immediately shut off engine(s), if this can be done safely and quickly.
• Remove any ignition source(s), if this can be done safely and quickly.
• Warn others that a gas line has been cut and that they should leave the area.
• Leave jobsite as quickly as possible.
• Immediately call your local emergency phone number and utility company.
• If jobsite is along street, stop traffic from driving near jobsite.
• Do not return to jobsite until given permission by emergency personnel and utility company.
If a Fiber Optic Cable is Damaged

Do not look into cut ends of fiber optic or unidentified cable. Vision damage can occur. Contact utility
company.
If Machine Catches on Fire

Perform emergency shutdown procedure and then take the following actions. The order and degree of
action will depend on the situation.
• Immediately move battery disconnect switch (if equipped and accessible) to disconnect position.
• If fire is small and fire extinguisher is available, attempt to extinguish fire.
• If fire cannot be extinguished, leave area as quickly as possible and contact emergency personnel.
JT100/JT100 All Terrrain Operator’s Manual Safety - 17
Driver/Loader Precautions
Intended Use
The driver/loader is to be used for driving anchors and loading and unloading pipe boxes only. Use in any
other way is considered contrary to the intended use.
Preparation
Visually inspect driver/loader each day to determine that it is in good condition before it is used. Check the
following:
• Make sure driver/loader is free of excess oil, grease, mud and debris before operation.
• Test driver/loader at the beginning of each shift to determine that the operating systems are in good
working order.
• Check safety devices to ensure they are functioning and in place.
• Check boom, hoses and connecting pins for wear and damage.
• Follow all local regulations for inspections.
Transportation
• Always store auxiliary stabilizer before moving unit.
• Always store driver/loader properly for transportation.
• Never drive with load suspended from driver/loader.
Jobsite Setup
• Always use unit stabilizers during driver/loader operation. Ensure that they are firmly positioned on
solid footings.
• Always install auxiliary stabilizer for driver/loader operation on engine side of unit.
• If auxiliary stabilizer rests on curb or other object that prevents it from supporting load, consider
blocking under the arm of the auxiliary stabilizer as near the outer end as possible to support load.
• If auxiliary stabilizer does not rest on ground due to holes or grades, it must be blocked up to provide
level and firm support for the unit.
• When working in soft soil conditions, use wide pad under auxiliary stabilizer foot to prevent sinking.
• Ensure loads are securely attached before lifting.
Safety - 18 JT100/JT100 All Terrrain Operator’s Manual
Operation
General
Riding on boom or load will result in death or serious

injury. No riders. Keep off.
• Secure with shackle before lifting load.

• Never use a sling bar or anything larger than the shackle prevent from closing. This prevents damage
to material being hoisted and helps prevent injury to personnel.
• No unqualified or unauthorized person shall be allowed to operate the loader/driver.
• Always comply with load chart capacities. Weight of heavy load can create enough tipping momentum
to overturn drilling unit.
• Observe operating area obstructions or power lines that might be a hazard.

• Keep objects and personnel clear of driver/loader path during operation.
• Do not take your eyes off a moving load. Always look in the direction load is moving.
• Never swing a load over people.
• Consider overall height of unit when moving under objects with low overhead clearance.
• Operate controls smoothly and do not stop load sharply in midair so that it swings.
• Fluid pressure from broken hydraulic line could pierce skin and cause injury or death. Stay away.
• Keep loader/driver boom length as short as possible for maximum lifting capacity and safety. Longer
booms require additional care in accelerating and decelerating the swing motion and thus slow down
the working cycle and reduce production.
• Never use loader/driver for towing or pulling a load sideways. Keep load directly under boom point at
all times. Boom can fail far below its rated capacity if the driver/loader is side loaded.
• Always walk around unit and check for obstructions before moving load.
• Do not lift personnel with driver/loader.
• Know weight of rigging and load to avoid overloading driver/loader.
• Heavy loads can create enough tipping movement to overturn vehicle. Always install auxiliary stabilizer
when lifting on the engine side of unit.
• Except for anchoring drilling unit, do not apply down force with boom extensions, lift, or outer boom
function.
Driver/Loader Overload
If driver/loader becomes overloaded, driver/

loader components will not move in some
directions (see illustration) until overload
condition is overcome.
• Bring load closer to unit to overcome

overload.
• Confirm load before continuing.
j28om133t.eps
Near Electrical Power Lines
Do not get boom near power lines. Death or serious

injury will occur. Keep required distance between boom and power lines.
Use a spotter. 270-1983
Never operate the driver/loader within 10’ (3 m) of electric power lines carrying up to 50 kV. Add 1’ (305
mm) of clearance for each additional 30 kV or less (see table on left). Follow OSHA or other guidelines for
working around power lines. Also observe minimum clearance requirements during transport (see table on
right).
Normal voltage Minimum operating Normal voltage Minimum transporting

(phase to phase) clearance required (phase to phase) clearance required
up to 50 kV 10’ 3m up to 0.75 kV 4’ 1.2 m
51-200 kV 15’ 4.6 m 0.76-200 kV 6’ 1.8 m
201-350 kV 20’ 6m 50-345 kV 10’ 3.8 m
351-500 kV 25’ 7.6 m 346-750 kV 16’ 4.9 m
501-750 kV 35’ 10.7 m 751-1000 kV 20’ 6.1 m
751-1000 kV 45’ 13.7 m unknown 20’ 6.1 m
Do not enter the danger zone (A), unless one of the

following conditions is met:
• An appointed person has confirmed that the electrical

distribution and transmission lines have been de-
energized and visibly grounded at the point of work.
• Insulating barriers (not a part of the attachment or
driver/loader) have been erected to prevent physical
contact with the lines.
Maintenance
• Before working on the driver/loader, lower boom to
the ground, turn driver/loader controls off and relieve
hydraulic pressure from circuits.
• Never weld, modify, or use unauthorized components
on driver/loader attachment. This will void any
warranty or liability, and driver/loader failure could result.
• Check swivel and shackle before each use for distortions or cracks.
• Stop all operations when cleaning, adjusting or lubricating the machine.
• Install all guards before returning driver/loader to service.

Backreaming Tips
• Plan backreaming job before drilling. Plan bore path as straight as possible. Check bend limits of
pullback material. Check that appropriate pullback devices are on hand.
• Keep all bends as gradual as possible.
• Drilling fluid quality is a key factor in backreaming success. Contact your Ditch Witch® dealer for
information on testing water, selecting additives, and mixing drilling fluid.
• Backreaming requires more fluid than drilling. Make sure enough fluid is used.

Gather Information
Gather Information
A successful job begins before the bore. The first step in planning is reviewing information already
available about the job and jobsite.
Review Job Plan

Review blueprints or other plans and make sure you have taken bore enlargement during backreaming
and pullback into account. Check for information about existing or planned structures, elevations, or
proposed work that may be taking place at the same time.
Notify One-Call Services

Mark proposed path with white paint and have underground utilities located before working.
• In the US or Canada, call 811 (US) or 888-258-0808 (US and Canada). Also contact any local utilities
that do not participate in the One-Call service.
• In countries that do not have a One-Call service, contact all local utility companies to have
underground utilities located.
Examine Pullback Material

Ask for a sample of the material you will be pulling back. Check its weight and stiffness. Contact the
manufacturer for bend radius information. Check that you have appropriate pullback devices.
Arrange for Traffic Control

If working near a road or other traffic area, contact local authorities about safety procedures and
regulations.
Plan for Emergency Services

Have the telephone numbers for local emergency and medical facilities on hand. Check that you will have
access to a telephone.
Inspect Site
Inspect Site
Inspect jobsite before transporting equipment. Check for the following:
• overall grade or slope

• changes in elevation such as hills or open trenches
• obstacles such as buildings, railroad crossings, or streams
• signs of utilities on jobsite and perimeter, such as:
– “buried utility” notices
– utility facilities without overhead lines
– gas or water meters
– junction boxes
– drop boxes
– light poles
– manhole covers
– sunken ground
• traffic
• access
• soil type and condition
• water supply
• sources of locator interference (rebar, railroad tracks, etc.)
Have an experienced locating equipment operator sweep area within 20’ (6 m) to each side of bore path to
verify previously marked line and cable locations. Mark location of all buried utilities and obstructions.
Take soil samples from several locations along bore path to determine best bit and backreamer
combinations.
Inspect Site
Select Start and End Points

Select one end to use as a starting point. Consider the following when selecting a starting point:
Slope
Fluid system should be parked on a level site. Consider how slope will affect drilling unit setup, bending
pipe, and fluid flow out of hole.
Traffic
Vehicle and pedestrian traffic must be a safe distance from drilling equipment. Allow at least 10’ (3 m)
buffer zone around equipment.
Space
Check that starting and ending points allow enough space for gradual pipe bending. See “Minimum
Setback” on page 93.
Check that there is enough space to work and to set up electric strike system.
Comfort
Consider shade, wind, fumes, and other site features.
Drill downhill when possible so fluid will flow away from drilling unit.
Classify Jobsite

equipment. 274-050; 274-724 (2P)
To help avoid injury:
• Wear personal protective equipment including hard hat, safety eye wear, and hearing protection.
• Do not wear jewelry or loose clothing.
• Mark proposed path with white paint and have underground utilities located before working.
• Comply with all utility notification regulations before digging or drilling.
• Verify location of previously marked underground hazards.
• Mark jobsite clearly and keep spectators away.
Remember, jobsite is classified by hazards in place -- not by line being installed.
Select a Classification
Jobsites are classified according to underground hazards present.
If working. . . then classify jobsite as . . .
within 10’ (3 m) of a buried electric line electric
within 10’ (3 m) of a natural gas line natural gas
in sand or granite which is capable of producing crystalline silica crystalline silica (quartz) dust
(quartz) dust
within 10’ (3 m) of any other hazard other
NOTICE: If you have any doubt about jobsite classification, or if jobsite might contain unmarked
hazards, take steps outlined previously to identify hazards and classify jobsite before working.
Classify Jobsite
Apply Precautions
Once classified, precautions appropriate for jobsite must be taken. Follow U.S. Department of Labor
regulations on excavating and trenching (Part 1926, Subpart P) and other similar regulations
Electric Jobsite Precautions
Electric shock will cause death or serious injury. Stay

away. 274-049
In addition to using a directional drilling system with an electric strike system, use one or both of these
methods.
• Expose line by careful hand digging or soft excavation. Use beacon to track bore path. If utility must be
crossed, tracker operator must watch the drill head during drilling and backreaming. The tracker
operator must have communication with the drill operator or DrillLok® system must be enabled with the
DrillLok key in the tracker operator’s possession.
• Have service shut down while work is in progress. Have electric company test lines before returning
them to service.
Natural Gas Jobsite Precautions
Fire or explosion possible. Fumes could ignite and cause

burns. No smoking, no flame, no spark. 275-419 (2P)
In addition to using a directional drilling system and positioning equipment upwind from gas lines, use one
or both of these methods.
• Expose lines by careful hand digging or soft excavation. Use beacon to track bore path. If utility must
be crossed, tracker operator must watch the drill head during drilling and backreaming. The tracker
operator must have communication with the drill operator or DrillLok system must be enabled with the
DrillLok key in the tracker operator’s possession.
• Have gas shut off while work is in progress. Have gas company test lines before returning them to
service.
Classify Jobsite
Crystalline Silica (Quartz) Dust Precautions
Breathing crystalline silica dust may cause lung disease.

Cutting, drilling, or working materials such as concrete, sand, or rock
containing quartz may result in exposure to silica dust. Use dust control
methods or appropriate breathing protection when exposed to silica dust.
• Use water spray or other means to control dust.

• Refer to U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines to
learn more about appropriate breathing protection and permissible exposure limits.
Crystalline silica dust is a naturally occurring substance found in soil, sand, concrete, granite, and quartz.
Breathing silica dust particles while cutting, drilling, or working materials may cause lung disease or
cancer. To reduce exposure:
• Use water spray or other means to control dust.

• Refer to U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines to learn
more about appropriate breathing protection and permissible exposure limits.
Other Jobsite Precautions
You may need to use different methods to safely avoid other underground hazards. Talk with those
knowledgeable about hazards present at each site to determine which precautions should be taken or if
job should be attempted.
Plan Bore Path
Plan Bore Path

Plan the bore path, from entry to end, before drilling begins. Subsite® Electronics bore planning software is
available for planning your bore path. This special software can be run in the field using a laptop computer.
See your Ditch Witch® dealer for details.
If not using bore planning software, mark the bore path on the ground with spray paint or flags, or record it
on paper for operator reference.
For complicated bores, consult an engineer. Have the jobsite surveyed and bore path calculated. Be sure
the engineer knows minimum entry pitch, bend limits of drill pipe, bend and tension limits of pullback
material, pipe lengths, and location of all underground utilities.
For less complicated bores, plan the bore based on four measurements:
• recommended bend limit

• entry pitch
• minimum setback
• minimum depth
IMPORTANT: See the following pages for more information about these measurements. If not using
Trac Management System Plus, see “Bore Path Calculator - Power Pipe® HD” on page 94 and use
these measurements to help plan your bore.
Plan Bore Path
Recommended Bend Limits
Ditch Witch® drill pipes are designed to bend slightly during operation. Slight bending allows for steering
and correcting direction. Bending beyond recommended limits will cause damage that might not be visible.
This damage adds up and will later lead to sudden drill pipe failure.
IMPORTANT: Consider recommended bend limits during any bend, not just during bore entry.
Pipe Pitch
Ditch Witch drill pipe is tested to bend at a maximum

percent pitch.
• For JT100 Power Pipe® HD drill pipe, make sure

pitch (A) changes no more than 7.2% over the full
length of each pipe.
• For JT100 Power Pipe Forged drill pipe, make
sure pitch (A) changes no more than 7.6% over
the full length of each pipe.
• For JT100 All Terrain drill pipe, make sure pitch
(A) changes no more than 6.9% over the full
length of each pipe.
NOTICE: Bending drill pipe more sharply than recommended will damage pipe and cause failure
over time. Changes in pitch must be equally distributed over the length of a pipe. Maximum
changes in pitch within 1-2’ (300-600 mm) of pipe create sharp bends that will damage pipe.
Monitor the pitch of each pipe with the remote display on the operator’s console. (See tracking system
operation instructions.)
Plan Bore Path
Bend Radius
JT100 Power Pipe® HD drill pipes have a tested

minimum bend radius of 205’ (62.5 m). This means
that a 90° bend in the bore path:
• has a radius (A) of 205’ (62.5 m)

• requires approximately 325’ (99 m) of drill pipe
(B).
JT100 Power Pipe Forged drill pipes have a tested

minimum bend radius of 197’ (60 m). This means that
a 90° bend in the bore path:
• has a radius (A) of 197’ (60 m)

• requires approximately 310’ (94.5 m) of drill
pipe (B).
JT100 All Terrain drill pipes have a tested minimum bend radius of 205’ (62.5). This means that a 90° bend
in the bore path:
• has a radius (A) of 205’ (62.5 m)

• requires approximately 325’ (99 m) of drill pipe (B).
NOTICE: Bending drill pipe more sharply than recommended will damage the pipe and cause failure
over time.
• If bend radius is reduced, drill pipe life is reduced.
• If bend radius is increased, drill pipe life is increased.
IMPORTANT: Use the charts on the next page to keep bends within safe limits.

Plan Bore Path
Entry Pitch
Entry pitch is the slope of the drill frame compared with the slope of the ground. Determine entry pitch one
of two ways:
1. With Pitch Beacon

• Lay pitch beacon on the ground and read
pitch.
• Lay pitch beacon on drill frame and read pitch.
• Subtract ground pitch from drilling unit pitch.
2. With Measurements
• Measure from the ground to front end of drill
frame (H1).
• Measure from the ground to back end of frame
(H2).
• Subtract (H1) from (H2). Record this number.
• Measure the distance between front and back
points (C).
• Divide (H2-H1) by (C), then multiply by 100.
This is your pitch.
IMPORTANT: A shallow entry pitch (A1) allows you

to reach horizontal sooner and with less bending.
Increasing entry pitch (A2) makes bore path longer
and deeper.
Plan Bore Path
Minimum Setback
Setback is the distance from the entry point to where
pipe becomes horizontal (B1).
NOTICE: If setback is too small (B2), you will

exceed bend limits and damage the pipe.
Minimum Depth
Because you must bend pipe gradually, entry pitch and
bend limits determine how deep the pipe will be when
it becomes horizontal. This is called the minimum
depth.
• To reduce minimum depth (D1), reduce entry

pitch. This also increases setback.
• To increase minimum depth (D2), increase
entry pitch. This also reduces setback.
Plan Bore Path
Bore Path Calculator - Power Pipe® HD

Entry pitch, setback, and minimum depth work together with bend limits to determine the bore path. To find
the setback (B) and entry pitch (A) that will take you to the desired minimum depth (D), use the chart
below.

• If jobsite classification is in question or if the possibility of unmarked electric utilities exists, classify
jobsite as electric.
• Expose lines by hand before digging. Cutting high voltage cable can cause electrocution.
• All vegetation near operator’s station must be removed. Contact with trees, shrubs, or weeds during
electrical strike could result in electrocution.
Mark Bore Path

Mark your planned bore path and all located utility lines with flags or paint.
Prepare Entry Point

For bore to be successful, first pipe must be straight as
it enters the ground.
To help ensure that the first pipe does not bend, dig a
small starting hole so that the first pipe is drilled into a
vertical surface.
To prevent bending or straining pipe, position drilling

unit for straight entry.

Steer Unit
Safe Slope Operation
Tipover possible. Machine can tip over and crush you.
• Wear seatbelt.
• Always operate with heavy end uphill.
• Drive cautiously at all times.
• Never jerk control levers. Use a steady even motion.
• Do not park unit on slope without lowering anchor frame to the ground, returning all controls to
neutral position, shutting down unit, and applying parking brake.
Operating safely on a slope depends upon many factors including:
• Distribution of machine weight, including front loading and absence of load

• Height of load
• Even or rough ground conditions
• Potential for ground giving way causing unplanned tilt forward, reverse or sideways
• Nearness of ditches, ruts, stumps or other obstructions and sudden changes in slope
• Speed
• Turning
• Braking performance
• Operator skill
These varying factors make it impractical to specify a maximum safe operating angle in this manual. It is
therefore important for the operator to be aware of these conditions and adjust operation accordingly.
Maximum engine angle and braking performance are two absolute limits which must never be exceeded.
These maximums are stated below since they are design limits. These design limits usually exceed the
operating limits and must never be used alone to establish safe operating angle for variable conditions.
Maximum engine lubrication angle – 30°

Maximum service brake retarding force – equal to traction of both tracks.
Maximum secondary brake retarding force – equal to traction of one track.
Maximum park brake holding force – equal to traction of both tracks.

Position Equipment
Position Equipment
1. Review bore plan and select drilling unit position and fluid unit position. See “Inspect Site” on page 82.
2. Move equipment into selected positions.
3. Use setup controls (29) to adjust drill frame as required by bore plan. See “Plan Bore Path” on
page 87.
4. Drive anchors. See “Anchor Drilling Unit” on page 139.
5. Unlatch shuttle guard and lower into position.
Connect Fluid System

away. 274-049
To help avoid injury: If an electrical strike occurs while drilling unit is connected to a fluid system, the
fluid system will also become electrified. Do not connect drilling unit to a public or private (business or
home) water supply.
1. Connect fluid hose from mixing system to drilling

fluid pump. A 3” (76 mm) supply hose no more than
50’ (15 m) is required. To prevent pump
cavitation, hose must provide 30 psi (2 bar) of
continuous pressure at the drilling fluid pump inlet.
IMPORTANT: Pump cavitation causes damage

to pump and other machine components and
reduces pump output.
2. Install y-strainer between mixing unit and drilling

fluid pump. Position strainer so that drilling fluid
flows in the direction of the arrow. In most cases,
positioning strainer at outlet of mixing unit gives
best results.
IMPORTANT: Clean y-strainer regularly. See

page 206.
Start System
Start System
1. Start drilling unit and remote fluid unit. Allow both engines to warm up.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that mixture of drilling fluid matches drilling conditions. See “Drilling Fluid”
on page 157.
2. Enable DrillLok® mode if desired. See “DrillLok®” on page 162.

3. Press top of drilling unit throttle switch until engine is at full throttle.
4. Press and hold quick fill fluid pump switch until pipe fills and fluid pressure begins to rise.
Prime Drilling Fluid Pump
Read operator’s manual. Know how to use all controls.

Your safety is at stake. 273-475
To help avoid injury: Prime the drilling fluid pump to lessen flow
fluctuations, which can make it difficult to control the washwand.

Prime drilling fluid pump each time tank is changed. To prime the pump:
1. Fill drilling fluid hose and connect hose to unit.

2. Operate mixing/transfer pump at full speed for 1 - 3 minutes to discharge air from system.
3. Return mixing/transfer pump to normal operating speed and continue the bore. Check gauge to ensure
at least 30 gpm (113.5 L/min) of flow.
4. If drilling fluid pressure surges are observed, repeat step 2.
IMPORTANT: If using drilling fluid recycling equipment, check mud weight before using it during bore.
Using drilling fluid with a mud weight higher than 9.2 lb/gal (1.1 kg/L) will decrease fluid pump life.
Operate Carriage Control
Operate Carriage Control

The thrust/rotation control allows the four basic functions (shown) to be
combined. The chart below shows examples of functions that occur when
control is put at a combined position. Operator must be in seat for control to
function.
Carriage Movement Rotation Direction

IMPORTANT: On units equipped with assisted makeup, move

joystick to the left to initiate the makeup cycle. See page 174.
reverse counterclockwise (breakout)
IMPORTANT: On units equipped with assisted makeup, move

the joystick to the right to initiate the breakout cycle. See
page 174.
Clamp Pipe
Clamp Pipe

• Ensure that any downhole tool or pipe in wrenches is attached to spindle or removed before
transport. Wrenches can open after engine shutdown.
• Clamp only where indicated. Clamping anywhere else on the pipe will weaken the pipe. Pipe can
later break, even when operating under normal loads.
Clamp on pipe when joint is centered between

wrenches (1 and 2). Always clamp on the larger
diameter areas on either side of the tool joint face.

Correct Direction
Correct Direction
Correcting direction is a skill operators gain with experience and knowledge of equipment and soil
conditions. These instructions cover only basic procedures. For information about specific equipment or
jobsites, contact your Ditch Witch® dealer.
To track progress and make corrections, one crew member locates the drill head and sends instructions to
the operator. Corrections are made by tracking the drill head, comparing current position to bore plan, and
steering drill head as needed.
Basic Rules
• Steering ability depends on soil condition; bit, drill head, and nozzle used; roll of drill head; and
distance pushed without outer rotation.
• All corrections should be made as gradually as possible. See “Recommended Bend Limits” on
page 88.
• Over correcting will cause “snaking.” This can damage pipe and will make drilling and pullback more
difficult. Begin to straighten out of each correction as early as possible.
• Do not push an entire piece of drill pipe into ground without rotation. This can exceed bend radius and
cause pipe failure.
JT Mode/AT Dirt Mode
• Do not push an entire piece of drill pipe into ground without rotation. This can exceed bend radius and
cause pipe failure.
AT Mode
• Steering in rock is slower than steering in other soil conditions. Be patient.

• Inner shaft is rotating at all times when AT mode is selected and inner rotation switch is on.
• Engage spindle brake when making directional changes.
• Depth estimate and pitch accuracy improve if drill head is at 3 o’clock when reading is taken.
• Pull back 6” (152 mm) of pipe before checking pitch.
Correct Direction
Procedure
1. Locate drill head. Take readings available with your beacon and locating equipment such as:
• depth
• pitch
• left/right information
• temperature
• beacon roll
2. Compare position to bore plan. Determine direction drilling should go.
3. Position drill head.
4. Push in drill pipe as needed to change direction.
5. Rotate in remaining length of drill pipe.
Drill Head Position

The drill head position is determined by reading
beacon roll. Roll is displayed as a clock face
position.
1. Read beacon roll.

2. Slowly rotate pipe until tracker displays desired
beacon roll.
To change direction:
JT mode/AT dirt mode AT mode
1. Rotate pipe to clock position you intend to 1. Rotate outer pipe to clock position you intend
travel. to travel.
2. Push pipe into ground. 2. Engage spindle brake.
3. Engage inner rotation and push pipe into
ground.
To move forward without changing direction:
JT mode/AT dirt mode AT mode
Rotate and push pipe into ground. 1. Engage inner rotation.

2. Rotate outer pipe and push into ground.
Record Bore Path
Record Bore Path

Locate drill head every half-length of pipe. As the job is completed, record the actual data for each drill
pipe. List pitch and depth of each joint and a brief description of the procedure. In addition, draw a simple
sketch of the site and record depth and rough location of pullback.
Subsite® Electronics bore tracking software is also available for plotting and tracking your bore path. It
utilizes a Subsite Electronics tracking system, including a tracker, display and tracking beacon, and special
software. The display can store jobs in its memory or the system can be run in the field using a laptop
computer. See your Ditch Witch® dealer for details.
Surface Drill Head
Surface Drill Head

Turning shaft will kill you or crush arm or leg. Stay away.
• Tracker operator and drill operator should maintain two-way communication.

• Keep everyone clear of the exposed drill string.
• No one should enter pit until clear communication is given by the drill operator that the drill unit is
shut down. If using DrillLok® mode, do not enter pit until DrillLok mode is turned off and green light
on drill unit is lit.
• Drill operator should be instructed to discontinue drill string rotation as soon as drill bit exits the
bore. Use thrust only to extend drill string beyond exit hole.
1. Guide drill head to target pit or up through surface. Make all bends gradual. See “Recommended Bend
Limits” on page 88.
2. Clean area around exit point.
3. If using DrillLok mode, tracker operator turns off DrillLok remote button to disable drilling unit thrust/
pullback and rotation hydraulics. Tracker operator waits for green light on drilling unit and visual
indicator on DrillLok-enabled units to enter pit and change tools.
If not using DrillLok mode, tracker operator signals to drilling unit operator to stop engine before
changing downhole tools.
4. Turn fluid flow control to off position as soon as drill head emerges.
5. Clean drill head especially around threads.
6. Disconnect EZ-Connect joint or use Hydratong wrenches to remove drill head. Keep threads clean.
See “Hydratong Wrenches” on page 168.
Backream
Backream
Sometimes it is necessary to enlarge the pilot hole to accommodate larger product. As a general rule, the
final hole should be 1.5 times larger than the diameter of the product being installed. The number of
passes needed depends on soil conditions. Do not try to increase hole size too much in one pass. Several
passes using successively larger reamers will save wear on machine.


equipment. 274-050; 274-724 (2P)
To help avoid injury: Continue to use strike system during backreaming.
• Ensure swivel turns freely with product attached.

• Maintain two-way communication with tracker operator.
• Begin backream only when tracker operator has communicated that everyone is clear of the
exposed backream string or has disabled thrust and rotation hydraulics using DrillLok® system (see
page 162).
• Do not allow anyone to stand to the side of the exposed drill string. Drill string and backreamer can
move sideways suddenly if rotated while away from the exit hole.

Drilling Fluid
Drilling Fluid
Improper handling or use of chemicals may result in illness, injury, or

equipment damage. Follow instructions on labels and in material safety data sheets
(MSDS).
For productive drilling and equipment protections, use these recommended Baroid® products, available
from your Ditch Witch® dealer.
• Soda ash
• Quik-Gel® dry powder bentonite (p/n 259-804)
• EZ-Mud® liquid polymer (p/n 259-805)

• Liqui-Trol™ liquid polymer suspension (p/n 259-808)
• Quik-Trol® dry powder polymer (p/n 259-809)
• Bore-Gel® drilling fluid (p/n 259-807)
• Con Det® water-soluble cleaning solution (p/n 259-810)
Guidelines
Match drilling fluid to soil type. This chart is meant as a guideline only. See your local Ditch Witch dealer for
soil conditions and drilling fluid recommendations for your area.
Soil type Drilling fluid recommendation
smooth, flowing sand bentonite or Bore-Gel + medium chain polymer
coarse sand or light soil bentonite or Bore-Gel
heavy clay long chain polymer + Con Det
swelling clay long chain polymer + Con Det
rock Bore-Gel
Polymer
This drilling fluid additive provides excellent lubrication and increases viscosity in average soils and heavy
clay. In swelling clay, polymer can reduce swelling that traps pipe in the bore.
There are two types of polymer:
• long chain such as Baroid EZ-Mud

• medium chain such as Baroid Quik-Trol
Drilling Fluid
Bentonite
Bentonite is a dry powder. When properly mixed with water, it forms a thin cake on bore walls, lubricating
the bore, keeping it open, and holding fluid in the bore.
Some things to remember when mixing bentonite:
• Use clean water free of salt, calcium, or excessive chlorine.

• Use water with pH level between 9 and 10.
• Use water with hardness of less than 120 ppm.
• Do not use bentonite containing sand.
• Mix bentonite thoroughly or it will settle in tank.
• Do not mix bentonite to a funnel viscosity of over 50.
For information on measuring funnel viscosity, see “Funnel Viscosity” on page 161.
Mixtures
Bentonite does not mix well in water containing polymer. To use both, mix bentonite first, then add polymer.
When adding other products follow the order listed below.
NOTICE:
• If chemicals are added in the wrong order, they will not mix properly and will form clumps.
• If tank contains bentonite/polymer mix and more drilling fluid is needed, completely empty tank and
start with fresh water before mixing another batch.
General mixing order:
1. Soda ash
2. Bentonite
3. Polymer
4. Con Det®
Bore-Gel® contains premixed bentonite, polymer, and soda ash. Use approximately 15 lb/100 gal (7 kg/
380 L) in normal drilling conditions, up to 45 lb/100 gal (21 kg/380 L) in sand or gravel and up to 50 lb/100

Drilling Fluid
Drilling Fluid Requirements

1. Determine drilling conditions and choose appropriate drilling fluid mix.
2. Estimate amount of supplies needed and check availability.
• Drilling fluid
• Water supply. If more water than can be carried with the unit will be needed, arrange to transport
additional water.
• Bentonite and/or polymer
3. Check water quality.
• Use meter or pH test strips to test pH of water. If pH is below 9.0, add 1 cup (.25 L) soda ash per
tank. Test and repeat until pH is between 9 and 10.
• Check water hardness using hardness test strips. Treat with soda ash if hardness exceeds 125
ppm.
Drilling Fluid
Funnel Viscosity
Viscosity is the measure of internal resistance of a fluid to flow; the greater the resistance, the higher the
viscosity. Viscosity of drilling fluids must be controlled.
To determine viscosity, you will need a Marsh funnel (p/n 259-267) and a measuring cup, available from
your Ditch Witch® dealer.
IMPORTANT: Make sure Marsh funnel is clean and free of obstruction and that you have a stopwatch
available for timing the viscosity.
1. Using wash hose and a clean container, take a fresh

sample of drilling fluid. The sample must be at least
1.5 qt (1.4 L).
2. With finger over bottom of funnel, fill with fluid from
the container through the screen until fluid reaches
the bottom of the screen.
3. Move funnel over 1 qt (.95 L) container.
4. Remove finger from bottom of funnel and use the
stopwatch to count the number of seconds it takes for
1 qt (.95 L) of fluid to pass through the funnel. The
number of seconds is the viscosity.
5. Thoroughly rinse measuring cup and Marsh funnel.

Backream Fluid Requirements

Backreaming is only successful when enough fluid reaches the bore. The amount of fluid needed depends
on size of bore and soil condition.
Follow these steps to find the minimum amount of fluid needed in perfect conditions.
IMPORTANT: Use more fluid than recommended or the backream might be dry and unsuccessful.
Instructions Example
1. Find amount of fluid needed for your size of U.S. A 6” backreamer requires at least 1.47
backreamer. See the table on the next page. gal/ft.
Metric A 152-mm backreamer requires at least

18.24 L/min.
2. Multiply this number by distance per minute U.S. 1.5 gal x 2 ft/min = 3 gal for each minute of
you plan to backream. The answer is an backreaming.
estimate of amount of fluid you will need for
each minute of backreaming. Metric 18 L x .5 m/min = 9 L for each minute of
backreaming

Hydratong Wrenches
Hydratong Wrenches
To attach or remove downhole tools, use the Hydratong wrenches to join or break the joint.

• Ensure only chain tongs and chain are in contact

with pipe (shown) and that chain is correctly
wrapped. Do not use Hydratong with chain bushing
pin touching pipe (shown).
• Stand away from the Hydratong when using it.

1. To join, apply TJC to threads and hand tighten joint.

2. Verify chain tong size is appropriate for pipe diameter. New chain tongs work with pipe diameter
4 1/2 in to 5 in (11.43 cm to 12.7 cm). To accommodate 3 5/8 in to 4 3/8 in (9.2 cm to 11.1 cm) pipe,
remove one chain link.
Hydratong Wrenches
3. Attach Hydratong in either the join or break position.
Join Break
IMPORTANT: Ensure arms are crossed before using wrench.
• Attach chain tongs (1) to both sides of joint. Place tongs as close to joint as possible.
• Remove snapper pins (2) from slide pins (3), and insert slide pins into wrench handles (4).
• Attach each end of hydraulic cylinder (5) to slide pins and insert snapper pins.
4. Remove all slack from wrench and joint.
5. To join, use the scribe line method to prepare joints for proper tightening. See “Scribe Line Method” on
page 170.
6. Connect Hydratong power pack to cylinder..
7. To tighten or loosen joint, move shuttle valve
handle (2, shown) toward the A position on pump
and press power switch (1, shown) to extend

Drill Pipe
Drill Pipe
Perform Regular Drill Pipe Care
Precondition New Pipe
Repeat this procedure three times for each piece of pipe before it is used the first time:
1. Hand-lubricate entire surface of threads and shoulders of both ends of pipe with copper base tool
joint compound. See “Recommended Lubricants/Service Key” on page 193 for correct lubricant.
2. Join pipe and tighten joint.
3. Break joint.
4. Move pipe back to box.
NOTICE: Failure to follow this procedure could result in fused joints. Pipe will be damaged or destroyed.
Lubricate Joints Before Each Use
Lubricate threads and shoulders of male joints with copper base tool joint compound. This prevents rust
and reduces wear on shoulders and threads. See “Recommended Lubricants/Service Key” on page 193
for correct lubricant.
Clean the Threads
Clean the threads as needed with high-pressure water and detergent.
NOTICE: Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents. This prevents tool joint compound
from sticking to the joints and will reduce thread life.
Drill Pipe
Use Caps and Plugs
Before transporting in dusty conditions or prolonged

storage, install caps and plugs to male and female
ends of pipe and to saver sub.
Replace Worn SaverLok® Body
Because each pipe comes in contact with the SaverLok body, check SaverLok body regularly for wear.
Compare condition of SaverLok body threads to condition of your drill pipe threads. Replace SaverLok
body any time when its thread condition is not better than thread condition of your drill pipe. Failing to
replace SaverLok body will result in damaged drill pipe. See “Change Auto Lubricator Pail” on page 235 for
replacement procedure.
Precondition a new SaverLok body the same way you do new pipe. See “Precondition New Pipe” on
page 171.
Rotate Pipe Order
Because the lead drill pipe is in the ground longer, it is subjected to higher shock loads and experiences
more wear. To help spread this wear evenly over all pipe, move the lead pipe from the previous job to the
back of the string, and move every other pipe forward one position.
Drill Pipe
Use Drill Pipe Correctly

Align the Joints
Always carefully align the male and female ends of

pipe before connecting them together. Poor alignment
can damage the threads and destroy the usefulness of
the joint.
j07om034c.eps
Clamp Pipe Correctly
Clamp on pipe when joint is between wrenches but as

near front wrench as possible. Clamp only on the tool
joint of the drill pipe as shown. This portion of the drill
pipe is designed for clamping and is considerably
thicker and stronger than the rest of the pipe.
NOTICE: Clamping anywhere else on the pipe will

weaken the pipe. Pipe can later break, even when
operating under normal loads. j07om032c.eps
See “Clamp Pipe” on page 120 for more information.

Cruise Control
Make Up and Break Out Joints Correctly
Assisted Makeup protects threads by automatically matching carriage movement speed to rotation during
makeup and breakout. Operator controls rotation speed while the unit controls carriage travel.
• To connect pipes together and fully tighten joint, slowly rotate pipe as threads come in contact.
Carriage will move forward automatically as threads engage. Continue rotation until spindle stops
turning and full pressure is developed. Improperly tightened joints will damage the shoulder faces
and threads, and will cause joints to leak or break while drilling or backreaming.
• To disconnect pipes, slowly rotate spindle counterclockwise. Carriage will move back automatically
until threads fully separate.
Do not Overwork the Pipe
Never exceed the bend radius for your pipe. See “Plan Bore Path” on page 87. Do not oversteer.
NOTICE: Bending pipe more sharply than recommended will damage pipe and cause failure.
Cruise Control
During the bore, you can set the desired thrust, pullback, and rotation speeds to match ground conditions.
Cruise control enables the unit to maintain these settings hands-free. You can engage, disengage,
override, and resume these settings at any time.
IMPORTANT: In order for cruise control to function, front wrench must be open and shuttles must be
under pipe box.

Wireline Tracking
Wireline Tracking
IMPORTANT: This section is intended as an overview for the JT100 drilling unit operator. During most
bores, a wireline tracking specialist is responsible for making wireline connections. For specific
information about wireline tracking, including system operation and safety precautions, consult your
wireline tracking equipment vendor.
The JT100 can be modified to operate a wireline tracking system by installing kit 190-1888. Wireline
tracking uses a transmitter in the drilling head that is hard wired through the drill string to an offboard
computer station at the rear of the unit. Each time pipe is added to the drill string, a new section of wireline
is inserted through the new pipe, gearbox, and water swivel, then spliced to the tracking system. The
operator must be aware of the wireline tracking specialist’s activity at the front and rear of the machine.
1. Operator awareness zones 2. Wireline
Operation

To help avoid injury: Ensure that thrust and rotation are disabled or in
restricted mode while wireline tracking specialist is working at front and
rear of machine.
Wireline Tracking
1. Connect drill head, transition sub, and wireline beacon housing.
2. Drill first pipe. After first pipe is downhole, clamp pipe in wrenches.
3. Position next pipe in shuttles.
Moving parts could cut off hand or foot. Stay away. 275-184,
273-437,
• DO NOT operate pipe box, pipeloading, anchor, setup controls, or any other controls while tracking
specialist is making wireline connections.
• Maintain constant two-way communication with tracking specialist.
4. The wireline tracking specialist will:

• Turn the wireline restricted operating mode (ROM) switch to the ON position to slow thrust and
rotation. See “Wireline restricted operating mode switches” on page 69.
• Insert a section of wireline through the pipe in the shuttles.
• Splice one end of the new wire to the wireline in the clamped pipe.
• Insert the other end (rear of machine) through the spindle, gearbox, and water swivel.
5. Use the pipeloading controls to move the new pipe into position and makeup the joint.
6. The wireline tracking specialist will:
• Remove slack in the wireline.
• Secure the wireline at the spindle.
• Connect the wireline to the offboard computer.
• Turn the wireline ROM switch to the OFF position to enable unrestricted thrust and rotation.
7. Install next new section of pipe.
8. Continue process for duration of bore.
Diagnostic Codes
Diagnostic Codes
Diagnostic Light
Use the red diagnostic light to learn the condition of the diagnostic system. Under normal operating
conditions, the diagnostic light will light steadily for two seconds after ignition is turned on to indicate light is
working. It will then go out and remain out unless a diagnostic code is recorded.
If diagnostic codes are detected, the diagnostic light will either flash on and off for 10 seconds to indicate a
non-essential code or remain on for 3 seconds and off for half a second to indicate an essential code.
IMPORTANT: If the diagnostic light remains constantly on, without blinking off, it means that there is no
power to the controller.
Code Severity Levels

Diagnostic codes are given one of two levels of severity.
• A non-essential code affects non-essential functions of the unit. If the system detects a non-essential
problem, a diagnostic code will be recorded and the diagnostic light will flash for 10 seconds and then
go out. Each time ignition is turned on, full operation will be available until the diagnostic system
detects a problem.
• An essential code affects rotation, thrust, drilling fluid, or ground drive. If the system detects an
essential problem, a diagnostic code will be recorded and the diagnostic light will cycle on for three
seconds and off for 1/2 second. Some machine functions may not work until the problem is corrected.
Each time ignition is turned on, full operation will be available until the diagnostic system detects a
problem.

Diagnostic Code Interpretation

Machine diagnostic codes are identified through a series of flashes of the Diagnostic light (red) separated
by pauses of different lengths. The shortest gaps separate flashes that are counted to determine a digit.
Longer pauses separate digits in a code, and the longest pauses separate codes.
Example: “Flash, flash, flash, pause, flash, flash, longer pause” represents code 32.
The Diagnostics Review mode has two methods for identifying and reviewing active machine diagnostics
codes:
1. Individual Review - one code is flashed for each press of the “Set” or “Resume” switch.
2. Continuous Review - each code is flashed three times with the Control Cycle light (green) on during
the first pass of each code and off during the second and third. The list of active codes is repeated
continuously.
To enter Diagnostic Review mode, move the “Drill/Drive” switch to the middle, park position. Press and
hold the “Set” or “Resume” switch to activate the desired method as described below.
Individual Review
1. Press and hold “Set” switch until the Diagnostic light (red) begins to flash (approximately 2 seconds).
Diagnostic Codes
2. Count the flashes as described above. The first time will flash code 12, which indicates the beginning
of the list.
3. To repeat the same code, press and hold “Resume” switch. To move to the next code press and hold
the “Set” switch.
4. When all codes are done, pressing “Set” returns to the beginning, code 12.
Continuous Review
1. Press and hold “Resume” switch until the Control Cycle light (green) turns on and the Diagnostic light
(red) begins to flash (approximately 2 seconds).
2. Count the flashes as described above. The first time will flash code 12, which indicates the beginning
of the list.
3. When the first code is complete, the Control Cycle light (green) turns off. The code will flash two more
times without the Control Cycle light (green).
4. The Control Cycle light (green) turns on again and the next code is flashed once, then repeated two
more times without he Control Cycle light (green).
5. This is repeated for all active codes and will start over at the beginning, code 12.

Proper lubrication and maintenance protects Ditch Witch® equipment from damage and failure. Service
intervals listed are for minimum requirements. In extreme conditions, service machine more frequently.
Use only genuine Ditch Witch parts, filters, approved lubricants, TJC, and approved coolants to maintain
warranty. Fill to capacities listed in “Fluid Capacities” on page 251.
For more information on engine lubrication and maintenance, see your engine manual.
IMPORTANT: Use the “Service Record” on page 253 to record all required service to your machine.
Approved Coolant
Beginning June 10, 2016, this unit was filled with blue coolant meeting Cummins® CES 14603 before
shipment from factory. Add or replace only with coolant meeting this specification, such as Fleetguard® ES
Compleat™ coolant. This coolant is available, pre-diluted, from your Ditch Witch® dealer as part number
255-1055. Contact your Cummins service partner for a full list of approved coolants meeting CES 14603.
In an emergency, no-Cummins approved, heavy duty diesel engine coolant meeting ASTM D6210 my be
used. Change to CES 14603 coolant as soon as practical..
Prior to June 10, 2016, this unit was filled with yellow John Deere® Cool-Gard® II coolant before
shipment from factory. Add only John Deere Cool-Guard II (p/n 255-006) or any fully-formulated, ethylene
glycol based, low-silicate, heavy-duty diesel engine coolant meeting ASTM D6210. Switch to the new
approved blue coolant described above at the next change interval.
NOTICE:
• Do not use water or high-silicate automotive-type coolant. This will lead to engine damage or
premature engine failure.
• Use only distilled water for mixing coolants. Do not use tap water.
Approved Fuel
Avoid static electricity when fueling. Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD)
poses a greater static ignition hazard than earlier diesel formulations. Avoid death or
serious injury from fire or explosion. Consult with your fuel system supplier to ensure the
delivery system is in compliance with fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding
practices.
Tier 4 Engine (U.S., Canada, EU, and Japan)
This engine is designed to run on diesel fuel. Use only high quality fuel meeting ASTM D975 No. 2D,
EN590, or equivalent. At temperatures below 32°F (0°C) winter fuel blends are acceptable. See the engine
operation manual for more information.
NOTICE: Use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (less than 15ppm sulfur content in the U.S. and Canada, or
10 mg/kg in EU and Japan) in this unit. Operating with higher sulfur content will damage the engine and
aftertreatment device.
Biodiesel blends up to 5% (B5) are approved for use in this unit. The fuel used must meet the
specifications for diesel fuel shown above. In certain markets, higher blends may be used if certain steps
are taken. Extra attention is needed when using biodiesel, especially when operating in cold weather or
storing fuel. Contact your Ditch Witch® dealer or the engine manufacturer for more information.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
Incorrect procedures could result in death, injury, or

property damage. Learn to use equipment correctly.
• Diesel exhaust fluid is corrosive. Avoid spills. If spill occurs wipe clean immediately.
• Avoid contact with skin. If contact occurs, rinse with water immediately.
• Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, seek medical help immediately.
• Avoid ingestion. If ingested, seek medical help immediately.
This engine requires diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to meet emission regulations. Use only high quality DEF
meeting ISO 22241-1 or DIN 70070 requirements. Running this engine without DEF will increase exhaust
emissions and cause engine to derate. Do not dilute or contaminate DEF or substitute other fluids.
Tampering with the DEF system will increase exhaust emissions and cause the engine to derate.
DEF has other common names such as Urea, AUS 32, AdBlue, NOx Reduction Agent, and Catalyst
Solution.
DEF freezes at 11.3°F (-11.5°C) but the system is designed to prevent freezing during normal operation. If
DEF freezes in the tank when the engine is shut down, the system will quickly thaw DEF when engine is
started.
DEF has a limited shelf life. In ideal conditions, minimum expected shelf life is 18 months. At temperatures
higher than 90°F (32°C), DEF will degrade more rapidly. Do not store in direct sunlight.
Storage and transfer equipment must be compatible with DEF. Most materials (especially hoses) are not
compatible and will degrade and contaminate DEF. Never use contaminated DEF. Containers made of
polyethylene or polypropylene are recommended.
This machine will consume DEF at a rate between 2 and 3% of diesel consumption. Many factors affect
consumption rate, but a good rule of thumb is to fill the DEF tank every time the diesel tank is filled.
Exhaust Cleaning
This engine has a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system that uses a small amount of DEF to convert
NOx emissions in the exhaust into nitrogen and water. The SCR system cleans itself automatically, unless
it is manually inhibited by the operator.
Automatic exhaust cleaning happens during normal machine operation when sensors in the
engine determine the need. During an engine exhaust cleaning cycle, engine exhaust can reach
high temperatures. When this happens, the high exhaust temperature icon will light.
If the jobsite is in an area where high exhaust temperature might cause a problem, inhibit exhaust
cleaning through the Tier 4 menu (see “System settings key” on page 51) for the duration of the
job and return to automatic cleaning when the job is finished. The exhaust cleaning inhibited icon
will light and remain on until the system is returned to automatic exhaust cleaning mode.
The exhaust cleaning icon will light when the system is inhibited and an exhaust cleaning cycle is
needed.
• The icon will light when an automatic cleaning is needed. If the area will allow it, return the
unit to automatic cleaning mode in the Tier 4 menu and let it run automatically.
• The icon will flash when a manual cleaning is needed. Set the engine to low throttle with no load and
initiate the manual exhaust cleaning cycle through the Tier 4 menu. The light will continue to flash until
the manual exhaust cleaning cycle is finished (approximately 30 minutes).
• A manual exhaust cleaning cycle is required after automatic exhaust cleaning has been inhibited
multiple times. If manual cleaning is not done when indicated, the engine will derate.
